Port Management Tab - LACP

Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, LAG) to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a LAG link between the Switch and another network device. For static LAGs, the switches have to comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard. For dynamic LAGs, the switches have to comply with LACP. This Switch supports up to eight LAGs. For example, a LAG consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full duplex.

To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.

Global Setting

System Priority. Indicates the global LACP priority value. The possible range is 1- 65535. The default value is 1.

Port Setting

Set the System Priority and Port Priority for the Port Actor. After you have completed setting the port LACP parameters, click Save Settings.

Port. Defines the port number to which timeout and priority values are assigned.

Status. Select Enabled to enable the port.

Set Port Actor. This menu sets the local side of an aggregate link; that is, the ports on this Switch.

Port Priority. Defines the LACP priority value for the port. The field range is 1-65535.

LACP Timeout. Administrative LACP timeout. A short or long timeout value can be selected. Long is the default.
